(RED BANK, NJ) -- Summer is heating up at Two River Theater! The popular series “Inside Two River” is back with two exciting events this month, supplementing the theater’s onstage offerings with opportunities for the community to connect, celebrate, and come together. Events include a Two River for an Under 30 Night on June 18th and a Pride on the Plaza celebration on June 24th.

On Saturday, June 18, theatergoers 30 years of age and under are invited to join Two River for An Under 30 Night, with drinks and a show for just $30. The $30 includes one ticket to see a bold new translation of Chekhov’s classic play, Three Sisters, plus access to the free pre-show party. The pre-show event includes up to 2 drinks per person (wine, beer, soda, water), delicious appetizers from local restaurant partners, music, and a selfie station! The party will be hosted in Two River’s Library from 6:30pm until 7:45pm, with the performance beginning at 8:00pm.

On Friday, June 24 from 6:00pm-8:00pm, Two River Theater's Pride on the Plaza celebration returns to the outdoor stage with performances by local drag royalty Lady Celestina, Demi Gawdess, and Morrigan Von Haunt. Tickets are $10 and include a fabulous drag show (tipping the queens is always appreciated!) snacks, and one complimentary beverage per person. The Pride on the Plaza event series started in 2018, with featured performers from the drag scene and event partners helping to celebrate the LGBTQ community during Pride Month and every other month as well.
